Fiesta hits big 30



Ford is celebrating the 30th birthday of the launch of its Fiesta model.

Since it was first rolled out, it has sold 3.2 million units in the UK alone.

That’s enough Ford Fiestas, if stacked on top of each other, to reach higher than 500 Mount Everests. Parked bumper to bumper, the queue would stretch from London to Bali.

Fiesta was Ford's first front-wheel-drive car.
